Adobe Photoshop CS
Advanced Level
Photoshop is so much more than an
image-editor: its layers, channels, paths and
adjustments, combined with actions and histories,
make it a veritable power tool for all those dealing
with photographic imagery. From enhancements to
special effects, the possibilities are limited only
by your imagination.
Useful to you if:
you need to produce professional-standard enhanced
retouching, repairs, or complex photographic
effects.
Before the course, you should:
be using Photoshop regularly and confidently;
be using layers, paths and channels with ease;
be familiar with shortcuts, filters and the main
palettes and menubar options.
At the end of the day’s course you will:
• have produced a complex layered file, special
typographic effects, and a photo-montage with
cloning;
• be armed with advanced tips on how to improve
workflow;
• be confident using actions, masks, and adjustment
layers;
• be aware of integration issues between this and
other software;
• know some expert-user keyboard shortcuts.
